Led Zeppelin ROAD CASE Giant Vinyl Boxset Unboxing & Review

[@jonkotick5233]

Yes, it's overkill, but to a hardcore fan, the road boxes are a major want. If you've got the means and the opportunity to buy one, I would to. I can see it on your face, how excited you are just to see one in person much less knowing it's yours. Congrats on the early Christmas present 😁

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man!!!

[@SpyderTracks]

@@Licoricedisc $700 in those days is an absolute steal. The Bill Evans Riverside is only 22 discs and is $900 and that’s without a flightcase and double sided. This set would probably be minimum of $2000 in todays market direct from manufacturer. This set is absolutely incredible, congrats on owning a serious piece of history

[@Venus_Isle]

Now that's what I call a box set 🙂 And the circumstances behind this sale sound really heart warming too...

[@averagejoe8187]

Dillon, Congrats. I can’t think of anyone other than you that should own this box set. Your system and your passion for LZ are a perfect match for these records. It’s not crazy at all. There seems to be a lot of comments and discussions about the price of high quality vinyl. My thought is, if you can afford them and appreciate them, then enjoy. There is a lot of good quality vinyl at a reasonable prices available for all of us to enjoy. It’s always been all about the music.

[@krankrocker]

Joe, please put me at the top of the list for people other than Dillon who should own this box set.

[@tomwilder9116]

I would buy a Led Zeppelin Road Case today, Dillon if you know where I can get one, PLEASE let me know. Thanks Tom

[@ettoredivirgilius8789]

Congratulations on obtaining the box set!! They are without a doubt, the definitive pressings, with the possible exception of the Ludwig Led Zeppelin II. I don’t have the box set, but I did acquire the test pressing box sets on Clarity 45 rpm vinyl of Led Zeppelin I, II, & IV, and they are monstrous rockers with an eerie depth, spacious soundstage, and captivating in scope.

[@gotham61]

Congratulations! I am friends with Mike Hobson of Classic Records, and I had the privilege of getting invited to Bernie Grundman’s mastering studio when he was cutting LZ IV for the 33 release. Amazing to hear it directly from the master tape!

[@alexkx8599]

So how did they get to do this and Atlantic did not? Or were they involved? What's, "Classic Records", anyways? Nothing to do with, "Ultimate Classic Rock Magazine", right?

[@gotham61]

@@alexkx8599 Classic Records was a now defunct audiophile record label that would license recordings from the original licensee to make high quality reissues. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab is another similar label that may be a more familiar name. Atlantic Records has reissued this stuff many times themselves, but most critical listeners would agree that the Classic Records versions sound better. No, there is no connection to Ultimate Classic Rock magazine.

[@michaelcoogan268]

Dillon; your enthusiasm for vinyl and music in your videos is so contagious and is why I tune in. Enjoy this collection, while I dig out my 8 Track edition of Zeppelin IV.

[@londonrecordlover965]

Dillon good for you, that’s a work of art. You must never sell it, yes it’s valuable in the world of records but it’s only worth as much as an entry level car or a nice piece of diamond jewellery and millions of people own such things and are not regarded as extravagant. May it bring you decades of pleasure! Greetings from London….

[@TheVinylKitchen777]

Fantastic video and congratulations on the Zeppelin 45 Case. I almost bought one back in the day. I don't have that Fantastic Case, but I do have all the Classic Records of Led Zeppelin 45's. I was lucky enough to have a friend who used to work at Classic who hooked me up with Zeppelin 1-thru to-Presence,BBC Sessions and their all 45 RPM White Label Test Pressings. I'm missing SRTS,ITTOD and Coda. He also hooked me up with Classic Records 45 Test Pressing of Jethro Tull Aqualung, Genesis 45 Test Pressing of Selling England by the Pound and Genesis Foxtrot. The Who Who's Next and Who by Numbers and Peter Gabriel One. I have a Blue Turquoise Zeppelin 1 like yours and a LedZeppelin 2 Monarch Robert Ludwig. I met Robert Plant many years ago and have his autograph. My 2nd favorite Collectable is my LedZeppelin 2 album cover Authenicated and Certified, signed by all four Original members. My favorite Collectable are a few rings, a necklace and a few other things from Jimi Hendrix. I know his US Managers family very well..long story but all legitimate and authenticated/certified. Been in this stuff for almost 50 years. Peace ✌️

Thanks! It’s one of my prized possessions! happy new year!

[@jazzvinylcollector]

Wow, that thing looks absolutely insane. I'm not the Zeppelin fan that you are, but I'm trying to think what the jazz equivalent would be and how amazing it would be. The closest thing that comes to mind is that Bill Evans Acoustic Sounds box set that they repressed recently, but even that pales in comparison to that Zeppelin behemoth in terms of size, scale and presentation. Congrats on adding that thing to your collection

The best few seconds of the video when you are in the couch ,and the wind blew your hat off your head 😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@ab3000x]

This box set is on another level! This is museum quality art and with that the price tag matches. Finding some rare out-of-print private press single LP (and/or 7" 45) can happen any day but this thing screams "I'm rare and expensive!!!" and it ain't going to show up at some thrift shop. When you get a chance to get the ultimate pressing of your ultimate band what else can you do but open your wallet? Plus, it makes great KZbin content! Congrats Dillon - Art B

Love your passion for Led Zeppelin, I first heard them when BBC Radio One played Communication Breakdown before it was released, sometime around late 68 early 69 as the first Led Zeppelin album was released in the US in January 1969 and in the U.K. in March 1969. Anyway it knocked me out and I knew instantly that this band were going to be the next big thing after the Beatles. I first saw them live at the Royal Albert Hall in June 1969 at a Gala Pop Festival an amazing gig, then on January 9th 1970 they played non-stop for over 2 hours and it was mayhem, the audience went wild and the Royal Albert Hall banned any more rock concerts for a couple of years, great memories 🎉

[@alexkx8599]

How old were you in '69?! You look too young to be around back then, lol. For me it's Michael Jackson THEN Led Zeppelin, then Queen, THEN the Beatles...then some group call FREE. Somewhere from there it's Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Sinatra, Presley, Cream, Hendrix, The Stones, Bowie. Elton, Cash, Whitesnake, White Stripes, Leppard, G'N'R, Bon Jovi, The Scorpions, Louis Armstrong, Meat Loaf, Whitney Houston, Prince, Madonna, Aerosmith, T-Rex, Diana Ross (Motown folk), U2, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, Tina Turner, etc., etc. Oh, my God, I've never heard that about the Royal Albert Hall issue, lol! That's WILD.

[@jamesbarron8307]

That is HUGE, congratulations! I’ve got the 2005 s/t debut 200gr, and to date it’s the best version I’ve listened to. I did just acquire the ‘69 ATCO brown purple label, which is phenomenal, but without critical analysis can’t confirm it’s actually a different mix. Definitely a different cut, as evidenced by the banding changes from the standard release. You have me second guessing myself now tho. Have the opportunity to acquire a second state Scranton Butcher, but would likely have to trade my sole Classic Records pressing to make the deal…..

Congratulations Dillion, you know own the ultimate Zeppelin prize, there’s absolutely nothing better. I just checked the Internet & there’s no sets for sale anywhere. There’s a record store in California asking $12,000 for the boxed set, once they can find one. They said there were only 500 pressings in 2006 & a second batch was scheduled, but Classic Records went bankrupt.

[@PeterTea]

Congratulations “psychopath.” ;) That’s awesome. As a fellow Zeppophile that was introduced to Zeppelin by a buddy playing When the Levee Breaks at 15, I can only imagine the tidal wave of sound that inundated your eardrums when you dropped that needle.

[@richardghernandez1672]

I saw this set when it first came out at an audio show in Los Angeles. It was going for $1000.00 at the time and they had I believe 3 boxes there. I was going to pull the trigger but like a dummy I didn't because I didn't want to carry it around with me during the show and I was too lazy to carry it back to my car and store it there. Also, $1000.00 was a good amount of money in those days for records, but I kick myself everytime I see one or hear about what they're going for the days. Imagine if I had bought two that day....... Enjoy your set, and here's hoping Chad does something about reissuing the catalog (I'm sure he will!) soon!

[@mjg086]

This is an awesome item... I wish more bands would release something like this; it's definitely overkill in the best way! I know you're not that into 7" 45s, but have you collected any Led Zeppelin singles and/or picture sleeves? It would be cool to see a video that included singles sometime especially any cool pic sleeves youve acquired for Zeppelin or other psych bands. Sometimes 45's (for various bands) have different mixes or even different takes of songs, cool B sides not on any other original releases, and so on. Thanks for your channel, I'm hoping to get to come to the shop someday!

I was on the fence of buying this upon its release @ $750. Then there were issues with some pressings (noise and warpage?). Repress was delayed and then I forgot about it until they were out of production Congrats and nice to see a hard core fan with a proper turntable and nice tube hifi n’ such own the “holy grail” Zeppelin box. ❤️ Your gear definitely justifies owning it 👍🏼

[@cirenosnor5768]

@@bradleykay To clarify, I was waiting for a repress because there were issues like noise problems and warpage. Forgot about the box while waiting for the repress and ended up *not* buying it. Retailers had it. Pretty sure Music Direct was where I almost bought it from. Still have the catalog somewhere that I think listed it as “waiting for repress” - It was 2007. He says that in his video? Zero regrets not buying it. I rarely listen to Zeppelin these days, but they were my favorite band growing up. Did buy In Through The Out Door as their new record in 1979 when I was 13 years old. Also got to see their reunion at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert. Thought most of their records sounded disappointing compared to records of their era like Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Floyd’s The Wall, Who’s Next, Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly, etc. Thus I couldn’t justify a box like that @ $800. Especially with potential noise and warpage issues. Although to their credit, apparently Classic Records replaced any Lp’s that had the aforementioned issues. If I spend that kind of money, gotta love the music, expect pristine pressings *and* have to think the material is very well recorded 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@stevenkoski228]

As a fellow record collector, it’s great you’ve found your holy grail of Zeppelin vinyl👍. Being 45’s there’s more fidelity of the nuances. BUT as an audiophile, there’s better to be had🙈. Aside from the surface noise & click/pops, vinyl only has a dynamic range of 60db, vs 90db+ of a CD, which are dead quiet. Consider investing into SHM CDs, which are compatible with any player. You’ll be hearing dynamic nuances! They could very well have your box set collecting dust as a boat anchor.

[@noblerecords]

I won’t be engaging in this argument with you. Your statement on dynamic rage is a general statement. It’s like saying motorcycles are faster than cars. Sure some are, but some aren’t. Depends on the car, depends on the motorcycle. There’s a lot of factors. Thanks for watching!
